Openreach, a prominent digital infrastructure provider, is calling upon the residents and businesses of Bobbington in Staffordshire to support an initiative aimed at delivering ultrafast, ultra-reliable full fibre broadband to their local community.
The company has issued a crucial warning that failing to apply for free Government broadband vouchers could result in the community missing out on a transformative full fibre upgrade, which promises faster speeds and enhanced reliability.
By rallying sufficient community participation, residents of Bobbington have the potential to join the ranks of over 100,000 homes and businesses across Staffordshire that already enjoy access to full fibre broadband.
This initiative is bolstered by funding through the Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, complemented by the deployment of cutting-edge broadband signal boosting technology. This technology has the capability to extend the reach of the full fibre network, making ultrafast technology accessible to thousands of remote rural communities similar to Bobbington.
Openreach has identified Bobbington as a strong candidate for Full Fibre coverage. To bring this vision to life, local residents are strongly encouraged to apply for free Government Gigabit Vouchers, thereby contributing to the network’s construction.
Eligibility can be determined, and vouchers pledged through the Connect My Community website. Importantly, these vouchers come at no cost to residents and enable Openreach to collaborate with the community to create a tailored, co-funded network.
